Blog Post #17 - Media forms

When people watch television, use their phones, or listen to the radio they are exposed to media forms. On these devices there are all kinds of media forms that audiences get exposed to. These media forms can be anything like movies, television shows, newspaper articles or even blogs like this one! In this blog post I will be explaining some of the purposes of these media forms.

Movies

Movies have many purposes for multiple audiences. One of the purposes of movies is to entertain. Movies that are made for entertainment will usually contain a lot of action or fictional stories that can appeal to many audiences. Another purpose of movies can be to inform people about a topic. These type of movies will have less action and more dialogue because of informational topics being explained.

Television shows

The purposes for television shows are very similar to the purposes of movies. Television shows are usually made for the purpose of entertaining a target audience but just like films their can be shows that are informational. These shows usually provide more informational details given the fact that a whole show lasts longer than a movie.

Newspaper Articles

Newspaper articles have mostly informational purposes for audiences. Newspaper articles are usually used in order to inform people about certain events that are going on in the world. Newspaper articles can also be used in order to advertise products to the targeted audience of the product.

My project will be a short film with the purpose of entertaining an audience of people who enjoy watching crime genre media. My project will also contain a couple of themes for the audience as mentioned before in a previous blog post.

  CCR #3- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?    My creative approach was a presentation. Production skills are an important part of creating films. This is because having better production skills can make a film better and more entertaining. Without good production skills, a film may not look very realistic, and a film might not be as entertaining as it was originally intended to be.   Production skills can range from anything between having good camera shots, having costuming that fits with the character s role, adding proper score and sound effects, recreating sounds as re alistic as possible with foley, and having props that fit with the storyline.   My production skills have developed in beneficial ways while working on this project. Before filming my project, I originally didn't have much thought on the importance of score in films and before I filmed, I thought I wasn't going to use score. After filming my op ening scene, I...
